No Closet Off Limits

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.”Ephesians 5:18 

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
God tells us to be filled with His Spirit. To be filled with the Spirit of God means first, repentance, then resistance of the devil, and then renewal. It means there’s not one room in your temple where God is off limits. There’s not one closet He doesn’t have a key to. You are filled with the Spirit in your church life, in your business life, in your sex life, in your political life, and in your social life. In the big things and the little things, in your money, in your exercise, in your sleep, in your eating, in your lying down, and in your waking up. You give Jesus the keys to it all. Then when you are filled with the Spirit, there’s no more room for Satan. 

ACTION POINT:
If there’s room for Satan, the Spirit is grieved and I am not filled with the Spirit. Repentance, resistance, renewal! Don’t try to repent until you’re honest and face your sin. Don’t try to resist until you’ve repented. And don’t try to be filled until you resist, until you choose against Satan and yield to God’s blessed Holy Spirit.

Amen!  I can recall way back the devil try to take control of my mind.  I was angry, when I had my stroke, always asking why? God.  but through all my doubts and fears, God brought me back to light, and darkness was gone.  Thank you, Char for posting this.

Another good one Char, I know we all question God at times. It is not wrong because we are still human also, Some things we will never understand until we get there.  God is always there and waiting for us to put our trust and faith in Him. I will always remember the scripture God gave me, before we ever knew the bad news that James had cancer, "Do not be afraid for I am with you, Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will hold you up with my righteous right hand. Isaiah  41:10.

He did just what He said He would do.  He put me in a trance and I was as cool as a cucumber, God knew when I get up set my blood pressure shoots up. But I just didn't feel anything for several days, God took care of me.
